Korean Air Aerospace Eyes USAF Fixed-Wing MRO Work
Korean Air Aerospace Division is awaiting a US Air Force request for proposals for heavy maintenance of fixed-wing aircraft based on the Korean Peninsula. The prospective requirement would expand the company’s regional military maintenance, repair and overhaul workload, at a time when its US-related business has contracted. Korean Air has also developed cooperation with Lockheed Martin on US military aircraft maintenance under the broader effort to use allied sustainment facilities in the region. The development remains a prospective bidding opportunity rather than a contract award, with aircraft quantities, work scope, value and delivery obligations not yet announced.
